really here. it was surreal. to think i had make it that far in hollywood, ten seconds away from being on glee. >> here comes adaptability week. >> you have to mention -- >> tell us about -- the lessons learned from the show. let's put that positive spin on it. >> the lessons learned is that when you come in to show business, especially when you are on a show like that, you have to remember that if they say jump, you should say how high and i think i was analytical at points where most people probably wouldn't have been but it is a reality show so it's meant for the drama and the build up and sometimes the let downs. that's the part of reality show tv. what matters is the talent that remains and the story that remains. >> for you, you had a whole life on you tube before this

and your music videos and all of this. this was what most of us saw but you have been doing this a long time. so, what are your pay chons. what will happen next for you. >> the passions, entertaining is the difference between living and existing for me. i come alive when i am in a position where i can entertain, inspire. i feel like that gives me purpose. to be on stage whether i'm doing comedy, singing, dancing, doing motivational speaking, those elements are what i think make me me and give me that purpose that i live for very day. >> what also makes you you, if i may be so bold, when you read the back story here and then you sit here and just looking like a million bucks, like you are about to be in hollywood the rest of your life, how do you over come these obstacles

that stand there like big monsters in your way and you push them down and keep going? >> if i'm looking like a million bucks, compliments to my best friend. >> you look like a million bucks. trust me. >> i won't take anything from my life. i think my life has been difficult. but i have triumphed above the difficulties i have. that is one of the things that i hope people see is a person that is talented, purpose driven that happens to have a disability or that happens to have had all these setbacks but doesn't let the setbacks define them. in that a lot of people can finds inspiration and that goes back to what i was saying. that gives me purpose. if me going through years of sorrow as a kid or teenager could be turned into a nice story, which i'm penning now, could be turned into a nice story to help someone else or

inspire someone else, if he can live through abuse, live through going blind, live through homelessness and still stand and have a genuine smile, i can do it too. that is one of the biggest questions that i get, why are you so happy? why is your smile so big? i think through the glee project and other stuff coming forward, i can tell people, that's why my smile is real. that's why i maintain it. one of my biggest inspirations is donny simpson. i had the pleasure of interning for him in 2008 for five months when he was still on the air. he told me that if i shoot for the moon and i miss, at least i would land amongst the stars. so, that is what i have been trying to do. one of the most powerful things i ever heard him say to me. >> we said play, sing and dance but motivational speaker,

comedian as well. voice over artist. >> you try to do everything? >> it's really hard for anybody -- allison, it's hard for anybody to get in show business. so, i wasn't overzealous. i was thinking i'm a jack-of- all-trades when it comes to entertainment. i tried the broadcasting door because that was one of my biggest passions. i saw myself on television. out of 50,000 hopefulls mario bonds was chosen as the final 14. then it was the singing avenue which i love above everything. then the voice overavenue and the angsting avenue. whatever i could do to get in that life where i feel the most energy inspiring people, entertaining and just -- here is the thing, if you love entertaining you will do it whether it brings you a lot of money or not. right now i'm dead broke. >> this is mario bonds,

everybody. he is a hometown hero as far as we are concerned. you saw him on the glee project. the words are tony back to you. could you sing us that. >> tony, with will go back to you. >> that is great. >> better than i could ever talk to you. thanks for being on the show. >> thank you. thank you. >> that's great. thank you very much. coming up, the u.s. is still bringing in the gold. we have a look at the latest olympic highlights next. first, let's check in with holly. >> hey, holly. >> i have dance highlights this morning as we are live at the ballet arts academy. we will show you how this school is hoping to become a destination spot for serious dancers. the first time i saw fios, it was absolutely amazing.

shower activity and the cloud cover we won't have to endure another 80-degree day like yesterday. on the radar, a couple of showers. maybe calvert and anne arundel getting light showers, one or two sprinkles and then a band off to the south and west. again, this is all associated with the cold front which is a slow mover. this time of year there isn't enough of a push to get it southeast of us so they typically fall apart. this is doing its best to track to the southeast. it's taking its time. a lot of cloud cover and a few showers for the morning. in the afternoon, notice the clearing skies. some of that clearing will get in here and i think particularly if you are watching north and west this morning you will see sunshine this afternoon. lower eastern shore southern maryland more clouds and a better chance of a few showers and thunderstorms as well.

let's do temperatures. 7 washington. 81 annapolis. it's warm and muggy out there. 81 quantico. we open it up and notice the 60s binghamton, new york 65. slightly cooler and drier air moving in from the north and west. dew point temperatures, this is measuring the humidity. that is what you call uncomfortable. below 70, it's -- these numbers will start to fall later today as the cooler air works in. it should be more comfortable late this afternoon and during the everything hours. 88 today, early clouds. sunshine, maybe a thunderstorm a possibility. winds south and west about 5. later tonight we should be dry overnight, partly cloudy, cooler. 72 the overnight low. the five day, after a week -- first week of august where temperatures are well above

normal, this week closer to average with daytime highs in the 80s to 90. tomorrow 90 with sunshine, less humidity. humidity creeps back and the chance of thunderstorms wednesday, thursday and friday. that's a look at weather. back to allison and tony. >> thank you, sir. we are three days away from the redskins playing their first preseason game. >> dave ross joins us live with a look at day 10 of training camp. i'm excited when football comes back then when it starts i feel like, what, it's so soon. >> i can't believe it. it's here. i get the same feel. you are like, man, it just seems like we started camp and they will practice today, open to the public at 3:00. tomorrow it's closed to the public. then a day off on wednesday then shuffling off to buffalo. robert griffin the third will make his debut for real on

thursday in game number 1. he is scheduled to play 12 to 20 plays. i get nervous after i see what happens to arizona. their starting quarterback kevin kolb got hurt in the second series. over the weekend, fan appreciation day, 24,650 people showed up. they had the redskins marching band out here, the first ladies of football were out here. it was packed. it was hot. the fans were undeterred and they were coming to see rg3. they came as far as texas, 30 hour drive for some people to get here to ashburn to see rg3. take a listen to the fans. >> it's been a while that the redskins haven't been playing good. we are excited with rg3. hope he will bring a spark. i am looking forward to it. >> i have seen everything he can do. he can throw it.

i would like to see it go further down the field other than the five yarders. i know he can do it. i have seen him do it. >> the dude is smart. graduated high school early, got his undergraduate early. he is a genius. he will bring that on the football field. he is dissect defenses, especially dallas. >> i think that guy has it all figured out. tony and allison, i want to play trivia with you. how many games do you think last year were decided by seven points or less. they were 5-11. how many close games did they play. >> i recall a lot. i will say seven. >> allison? >> i will say seven. >> eight. you guys are right there. half of the season was decided by a touchdown or less. three of those games were decided by three points or less. what is the point? special teams can make a huge difference for this time from being 5-11 to maybe being 8-8-9-

7. we have a real battle at the kicker position. graham is the incumbent. he has been here the last three seasons. can he hold on to his job in we will find out. a decent year last year. he missed ten kicks but made 31 others. he is challenged by a 13 year vet who made 80% of his kicks. the last two years he kicked with the texans. they are good friends off the field. but they both want to win. we will start with again notice. how is the competition coming along. >> it's good. when i heard the news, i was looking forward to the competition. it helps me. it has been good so far. it will come down to the game. i know as long as i prepare and do what i can do in the game, it will work out well? >> graham is a good kicker. he is a great guy, professional. we were out there to do our

jobs and see who they like at the end of the day. >> hitting the ball well. we got in a grove with graham and nick during mini-camp. we are working to get back there. took five weeks off then come back. i feel like we are getting there and handling the ball well. >> right now that might be one of the closest competitions right now for position battles. saturday after the fan appreciation day two fights broke out in a five minute span. practice begins in the bubble. at 3:00 the last open practice to the public. come on out. tony and allison, it should be another hot day and we will see if tempers flair.

pit bulls are banned in a number of cities across the nation. a new documentary shows beyond the myth that certain dog breeds are vicious. >> good morning. unfortunately pit bulls do have a lot going against them starting with breed stigma but the film we are about to talk about is a film that presents eye opening research you don't want to miss. joining me is libby cheryl, the writer and directer, beyond the myth. i know you flew in last night. thank you for getting up early. >> i'm glad to be here. >> i want to he had indicate our viewers about pit bulls. let's talk about the breed. a lot of people think of them as natural born killers that can't be trained but based on your research and your experience with pit bulls, you own one, what are they really

like and what do you know that most people might not know. >> well, actually, i didn't have a job until i started this project. and i have two pit bull mixes, meaning i don't know their heritage. i am calling them pit bulls like a lot of people do. my dogs are very even near genic, loving, affectionate, think they are lap dogs. they are just dogs to me. that is what we want to look at. every dog is an individual like a human is an individual. and that you know even though my dog may be more of a lab dog, someone else's pure bread american pit bull may not be a lab dog. it may be different. to take all pit bulls are a certain way is a mistake. all labradors are not the same even though many may want to retrieve a ball, there may be a few that don't like to retrieve a ball. >> the screening is tonight. we will inform our viewers a

bit. pray prompted to you do this -- what prompted you to do this. >> i was in grad school and i was studying a theory which says the media has the ability to set our opinions and influence public opinion. a lot of research has been done on how the media has affected the outcome of elections. and when i started having experience with pit bull type dogs in grad school at the same time and i thought, wow, i didn't know this existed because i never thought about it. i thought, well, i think it is happening in this arena. i think the way media covers dog attacks a lot of times, they focus on the breed of dog and not the underlying factors of the attack which there is a lot of contributing factors that are common in almost every attack. breed may be one of those. if someone reports on a dog attack and they focus on the

breed and use pit bull in the headline it's giving people askewed view of what happened during the attack. it may have very little to do with breed. that is the easiest identifier for a headline, pit bull attack. i did a lot of research about headlines and how they cover dog attacks. some of that is in the film. so, i just set out on this journey, did a lot of research, went to san francisco, denver, miami -- >> these are all cities where they have pit bull bans. >> denver and miami still do. cincinnati overturned theirs just a few months ago after 20 years. so, i think there is a lot of opposition. there is a lot of proof that breed specific legislation does not work at keeping the public safe and anyone involved in this project including me obviously wants public safety to be priority. but when you get down and research breed specific legislation you will see that it doesn't stop dying dog

attacks -- stop dog attacks. these aren't focused on people, they are focused on dogs. dogs don't have morals. they don't think okay now i will go and do this or they will stop and -- >> they just know how to love and play and eat. >> i think one of the best lines in the film from a trainer is that the greatest variable in dog behavior is the human interaction with the dog. >> another thing you might see in the film are some of the stories, the real stories of owners and their pit bulls. i have multiple dogs myself. i can't imagine ever losing them ever. association it's a real toping film. that is tonight at avalon theater on connecticut avenue at 8:00. log on to my foxx d.c. for more information. back to you, tony and allison. >> thank you very much. this morning holly is introducing us to a group of young people looking for a successful career in dance. >> we are getting an idea of

how much practice and discipline it takes to make it in that field. holly joins us live from waldorf maryland with more. >> good morning. if you want to be a star, be an accomplished dancer, the best person to learn from is someone who accomplished just that. that is the case here at the dance academy. he is the guy, the local kid that did good, went and traveled the world, became a famous ballet dancer and is back sharing his skill and bringing his wonderful friends with him to help teach the kids. kelly is one of those. good morning to you again. >> good morning. >> we talked about kelly's credentials. you have done a lot and are still performing and doing a lot. this summer you are doing contemporary ballet, right? how does that work into the lesson plan so to speak. >> well, actually, what i have been doing with the girls is

building their own individual repertory. oscar would like to take the time to develop the dancers. in the future have a company with them. so, i have been brought in to chore re0 graph and original -- an original work based on their talents and ability. >> don't you think you provide an inspiration for them. they can see that you have played this your occupation. that you have been successful and these are the opportunities out there for you if you work hard? >> exactly. definitely. we bring that, that inspiration, that experience, that let's them know the detail things that you wouldn't know unless you lived it. i talk to them all the time, about their point shoes and just little detailed things that really influenced them. >> that makes a difference, right, because there are a lot of people that want to do this and if you want to set yourself apart you need the details. >> exactly. true. >> you are doing a wonderful job. the dancers are beautiful. they have been working hard all

morning long. i want to bring in someone else. this is christine, the arttor. good morning to you. >> hi, holly. >> what does it mean for oscar to bring his talent and bring these people here for this summer intensive summer? >> we are so fortunate. oscar has been a star all over the world. very talented dancer, studied hard all his life. what he is able to do by making the connections that he did during his performing career is to make those friendships, form those allege agains and bring professionals such as himself back here to southern maryland to let us experience and learn all about what he is bringing to this part of the country. >> how hard is it to establish a company from the ground up so that it becomes a destination for dancers. >> it's difficult. as oscar initiated, the work is to start a training seminar for

the academy and he is laying the foundation. what we will have that you are beginning to see the beginning of is a birth of a company. it's difficult. it takes layers of foundation, layers of training, layers of discipline, respect for oneself and learning from all these teaches and intructors and guest artists that oscar is bringing in. once our dancers developed their own rep pi tway then we can establish our own nugget of a company. >> we can say we were there in the beginning. >> i want to bring in one more person p. kelby brown. he is watching so intently. you are doing the jazz portion. >> the jazz portion. >> as someone that is successful in the business as well, what is the opportunity for these young people really to be able to make it. >> to make it well. first of all, like a lot of hard work, coming to class every day. learning as many styles of dance as you can, ballet, hip-

hop, contemporary. you have to be ready to do everything. >> you have to not be a one trick pony. >> you have to do it all. what do you think would be the biggest surprise for these kids? maybe it was the biggest for you when you were becoming a professional dancer about having it be your profession. >> knowing how to be versatile. when you are in school you are learning one style at least from the day that i was dancing, but nowadays you have to be versatile. if you are not versatile you lose out on opportunities. someone will know more than you and you wish you could have done that but because you don't know, you don't have the knowledge of the versatility then you lose out. wonderful, the kids are not losing out this summer. what a wonderful opportunity for them to be here and be with oscar. myfoxdc is our web site. we have a link to the ballet arts academy. if you want your child to have this opportunity, check it out and see what kind of moves they can learn. we will have more fox 5 morning
